Moldova's Ruling Party Under Fire for Non-Transparent Campaign Launch

Moldova's Ruling Party Faces Transparency Concerns After Launching Campaign with Limited Access Public Consultations Chisinau, Moldova – The ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) in Moldova recently launched a campaign titled "Together We Care for Moldova's Future." The campaign includes public consultations intended to gather input for the party's electoral program. However, the party's approach to these consultations has raised concerns about transparency. The first consultation, scheduled for June 4th in Chisinau, is shrouded in secrecy. Only those who completed an online registration form received information about the precise location of the meeting. This form requested personal data, including full name, workplace, and social media links, creating concerns about data privacy and potential misuse of information. "This lack of transparency is deeply troubling," said a political analyst who requested anonymity. "It raises questions about whether this is a genuine effort to engage citizens or a thinly veiled pre-election campaign tactic." The video also shows a billboard with the campaign slogan "Together we care for Moldova's future." This raises questions about the timing of the campaign and whether it complies with election regulations. The Central Election Commission (CEC) has yet to comment on the matter, stating that they can only investigate after receiving an official complaint. This situation highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability from political parties in Moldova.
